Wikipedia, because it is an encyclopedia, is a reference work. People will
want to consult it to answer questions about people, events or facts. This
leads to the critereon that before adding an article, one should consider
whether it would be of interest beyond a clearly limited audience.
Once when search is back to Wikipedia, it would be possible to see unsuccesful
searches - to see what people wanted to find, but didn't.
